It sounds like "caret browsing" which lets you navigate through the text of a document with the up and and down arrow keys. The F7 function key turns caret browsing on and off. Or you can use the Options page, Accessibility section. See: Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox.

Was that it?
